Informative, well researched. Nicely narrated.

Revisado: 05-29-21

I enjoyed this audio book. Lots of background describing how the Templars came to become so powerful. Even more interesting to me personally, was how they came to be dismantled. Very enjoyable narration. Very violent storyline.

Unlimited Courage and Sacrifice

Revisado: 12-18-20

As I heard this story unfold I discovered a hero and her network in WW2 Poland growing ever larger in courage and sacrifice as they resisted the Nazi’s and saved lives. She, and her comrades are worth knowing. Unforgettable.

Filing legal actions are pure fun, plain and simple...

Revisado: 11-16-20

...according to D. Trump. Author writes about Trump using the filing of suits, counter suits, and threatening to use them to get business and personal leverage. I have read anything about anybody else who is so prone to taking complaints to court. Well researched legal episodes about the various periods in D. Trumps life and how he has engineered personal publicity from court filings. Subject matter will probably be very relevant after he leaves the Presidency. Highly enjoyable.

An important description of how we get better economic policy

Revisado: 06-22-20

The author has served in Washington as an economic advisor and shares much of what he has seen regarding economic policy implementation by politicians and technocrats. Taxation, global trade, income inequality and many more issues are covered from an economists perspective, but the implementation of policy in many cases is flawed and counter productive. Very glad author wrote this book. A great message for those who care about our country and want all the best for its people.

IMO, a perfect book

Revisado: 05-08-20

The author picked a very impactful person in world history. The story was thoughtful about the life of Genghis Khan including his motivations, strengths and innovations as a leader. Narrator was superb and never got in the way of enjoying the book. Not your book if desciptions of violence are not your cup of tea.

Great Subject, Super Biography, Wonderfully Performed

Revisado: 01-01-20

Can't say enough about this audio book. Oliver W Holmes Jr was an intriguing individual and part of the US Supteme Court who was a beautiful and gifted writer as well. The author has included many examples of this on every page. Loved it.

Great in every aspect

Revisado: 11-27-19

Author uses a lot of language from our English ancestors which varies considerably from US english today. Strong empathy with our native American ancestors, and use of both some words in their native tongues well as English make this an excellent book to listen to. I loved it immensely and am glad I know more about the first 80 years of our history.

Plenty of historical background, missions, imprisonment and escape.

Revisado: 10-16-18

Story about an aggressive young Frenchman, who wanted to help rid France of German Occupiers during WW2. He escaped from France early to get trained as a Resistance fighter in England. Parachute drops, eluding capture and causing damage to German facilities were all part of this real life story. Well written and narrated. Lots of background information about the Resistance, German counter espionage agents, and life in France. Tour de force!

A life lived demanding the US Constitution be for ALL. Told to you in a style like an Uncle sharing stories over coffee.

Revisado: 09-30-18

I loved the style that Greg wrote this book. Every topic has a title describing what is to come. What follows is a very conversational and heart felt narrative of black history. He lifts the spirit by insisting (through multiple examples) that generations of black people have contributed greatly to the USA. I loved his passion for justice, greatness and the goodness in people. He tells the truth about savagery of slavery and racism with an empathy that is vivid, and an earnestness that a favorite teacher has. In the end, I feel honored by listening to Uncle Greg.

Resisting the Occupiers in Many Ways, Fascinating Description

Revisado: 01-11-18

The author writes so clearly about the thoughts of a young French woman living in Occupied France, you quickly sense her distain for the Nazi's. Her inventiveness and persistence, make her a formidable asset helping those in her village survive, while the Germans plunder the land and people to feed the war machine. Fascinating characters surround her, some with great courage, some not. I loved that a few of the characters close to her had disabilities, they were effected by the occupation, and played important roles in the resistance itself. Bravo!Wonderful narrator added beautifully to the story with her ability to to make French speaking characters sound delightful to my ear.
